VIDEOsis: A VIDEO OF Mitosis

                S-C-I-E-N-C-E. Basically, the goal of this video editing revolves around the idea of the BIG word, Science! Just two words merged together to form “Videosis”. At first, video editing is so backbreaking. You need to redraft, revise and rework any content of the moving pictures so as to simulate the motion pictures for video editing. Much more it was exciting and challenging. In addition, at the first part of our video we carefully selected a ready made video for the part of the body or particular organ system we’ve chosen where mitosis occur. After that, we then revamp it. There is particular person assigned to the video editing. In our video, we try to process the motion footage, add a special effects and more importantly is the sound recording. In, our video I think sound is what gives life to it. Along the way, I realized that editing is great. Prior to that, I’m readily editing videos. Yet, I’m not too good at that at some points. My output is definitely imperfect, somehow for others it’s just okay. In our video editing, we took so long to finish it with the polishing and all. Including the application of skills we’ve learnt during the seminar workshop we’ve attended. What really helped us most is the software that we have chosen to edit a high quality video by simply manipulating them. Video editing experience is a bit harder as you need to create a  more complex transition between scenes and you need to play it back and forth simultaneously and watch it again and again before saving your work or else you should edit again.  

            As a classroom tool, Video Editing in education are the product of 21^st Century Teaching- Learning process. It aids the students of visual learners. The emergent of this video editing reduces the time of difficulty in understanding the lesson as this video editing talks about the complex ideas and lesson that could demonstrate the things the students might not understand in just words or lecture given to them. Videos can make students understand even at one glance. In our video linked below, the creative artworks of our groupmates, soundtracks applied and the well explained process in mitosis was presented.

             Mitosis. Mitosis. A word not new to us Bio Majors. Significantly, Mitosis is known to be a part of the cell cycle when the chromosomes separated into two nuclei. So, generally Mitosis is the division of the nucleus which then proceed to cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm which was thoroughly explained in our video. The DNA is replicated during the S phase of the interface which is followed by cytokinesis. According to the explanation in the video, Mitosis and cytokinesis both describe mitotic phase or the M phase of a cell cycle. The division of the mother cell into two daughter cell into two daughter cell identical to each other. Here are the substages of Mitosis: (1) Prophase – this stage occurs after the G2 interphase where the cells prepare to divide by tightly condensing its chromosomes and initiating its mitotic spindle formation which was illustrated in our video; (2) Metaphase- After the microtubule attached and located into the kinetochore, the two centrosome begin pulling the chromosomes towards opposite ends of the cell. The resulting tension causes the chromosome to align at the metaphase plate or equatorial plane, an imaginary line that is centrally located between two chromosomes; (3) Anaphase- during this stage of mitosis the sister chromatids are cleaved together forming two identical daughter chromosomes. Shortening the kinetochore microtubules pulls the newly formed daughter chromosomes to opposite end of the cell; (4) Telophase- this phase is the reversal of the prophase and prometaphase events. At this phase, the polar microtubule continue to lengthen , elongating the cell even more. If the nuclear envelop has broken down, a new nuclear envelop forms using the membrane vesicles of the parent cell’s old nuclear envelop. 

          The new envelop forms around each set of  separated daughter chromosomes. Both of the chromosome is now surrounded by a nuclear membrane. Then the cell division may or may not occur at this phase as it is dependent on the organism. Then it will proceed to another process called cytokinesis which is necessary for completing the cell division.

Here are just some parts of our video presentation:  "ALL ABOUT MITOSIS"

The introductory part of our video

The karyokinesis which is the division of the nucleus

The division of the Cytoplasm was also explained

Next part which points out the lining of the gastric juice in the stomach

The first stage of Mitosis 

Then metaphase is where the chromosomes aligned at the M plate

The third major stage of Mitosis

Then the Telophase stage was also well defined in the video

This is the last and final stage of Mitosis which can be seen at the video

The part of the cell which involves Mitosis 

Chromatin material was also discussed in the video

The nucleolus can be found inside the nucleus which has its vital function

The centrioles function in mitosis was also explained in the video
